  • The SI unit of work is newton-metre or joule.
  • Energy has the same unit as work, joule.
  • Energy is the ability to do work.

3. Mechanical energy: potential energy and kinetic energy

  • Mechanical energy is the energy a body has because of its position or motion.
  • Potential energy is energy possessed by a body raised above the ground.
  • Potential energy depends on the weight of the body and its height above the ground.
